1. My tears flowed when the loved one departed from embrace
Oh my lord, tell them I am brother of sorrow

2. Oh my burning, I grew weary with its longing
It began to flow freely, I see no pleasure in intimacy

3. After the flowing, regret knocked on the years
Of what avail am I, if the passion flows openly?

4. And my affliction, when Layla glanced at me with her eyes
My heart wavered, I did not cease to be in tribulation

5. The malady of flowing, so I bit my palm in regret
Who is my guide? My mind went astray in the abode of tears

6. Oh my regret! It deprived me of the scent of her visit
For long stretches, my stay will not be in the homeland after this

7. Dear separation, the rope of my passion does not slacken
Of what fortune am I? My patience failed and my branch bent

8. No solace for my liver, it melted due to her estrangement
The echo increased, spare me the blame in my time

9. Other than the loved one, I remain a brother of pain forever
Oh guided one, I am in weakness and frailty
